GNOME software is (supposed to be) guaranteed to have some things like
active maintaining, translations, documentation etc. through
concentrated effort, something that individual projects (and their
maintainers) might never achieve.

But it's true that the definition of GNOME as a whole is a bit
complex, and does indeed contain more than just "vaguely related
software" :)
